Emulsion paint for walls and ceilings is very expensive in France, especially for colours. Suggest you bring what you can from the UK, and also some liquid PVA adhesive, as 10% mixed into ordinary emulsion will give you a much more durable ‘Kitchen & Bathroom’ type of finish that lasts a great deal longer and is easily washable. A diluted PVA solution (with a bit of cheap white emulsion mixed in so that you see where you have been with it) will also be good for sealing any new plasterwork that you may have, and will stop it from ‘drinking in’ too much of the more costly coloured emulsion.
